I’ve been using these masks and love them:
They have the metal nose bridge, a pocket for replaceable filters and they bottom half is sewn to conform to your jaw and chin so they’re ridiculously comfortable.
The only thing about the folks might not like is that they’re the type that hook over your ears with elastic. The elastic is adjustable but has a tendency to snug up a bit. It only bothers me a tiny bit when I don’t notice the straps have snugged up, then I just have to take it off and adjust the straps. I’m guessing it would be easy to modify the masks with more comfortable straps.

This is how your journalist.
Yes, there is a reason you are avoiding telling us the date of his last negative test.
I don’t know why they don’t just fully lie about it. Just be like “Oh, uh, Tuesday, I guess.”
As long as we keep bowties. Bowties are cool.
Christ, what a coward. It’s a nose swab, jerk!

He’s afraid that the swab will pass through where his brain should be and strike the back of his skull.

I wonder how he explains this. Getting a test is simple and it’s not like he’s being asked to take an STD test.
It seems to me he doesn’t want a test because he knows he’ll be positive, honestly.
Or it’s an excuse to duck out of another drubbing.

The act of refusing to get a test is probably more motivating to his base than anything he could say at a debate.
If he tests positive it will delay the SC judiciary committee and he probably expects to test positive

Oh shit, I hadn’t thought of that.
Quite possibly true. We actually had multiple people quit their jobs here when our company had to get tested.
Quit their jobs. Over a nasal swab that took 5 seconds.

If he’s positive then he won’t want to reveal it because contact tracing will end up at with his boyfriend and homosexuals have no place in the Republican party.
Really, the debate organizers ought to go ahead and just let Harrison answer questions and speak to the voters. That’s a far better remedy than cancelling it — after the last debate, it’s not out of the question Graham was looking for an out anyway.

Nah, he’s afraid it’ll come back gay positive.
Being serious, he disgusts me more than a hetero bigot because he’s sowing active disdain for the LGBT community by saying “you don’t deserve to be in the Senate, so I will disavow you, and myself by association”.
Several GOP senators have refused a covid test, including Moscow Mitch. Most likely because if they test positive they may have issues with the Barrett hearing.

Yeah, it’s amazingly bullshit.
It’d be amazing if they die from it because of this.
